Beyonce: Is she or isn't she dating Jay-Z?

 

Have you noticed how many romantic pairing are poping up on the music scene recently some of who fits and some just doesn't seem to fit at all! Most recently we've seen Britney Spears and Fred Durst (although to this day she claims they haven't hooked up), Puffy or P Diddy (different name, same guy) and Naomi Campbell and now there's Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z.

Both parties involved are being hush hush about it as 'mum' is the language of choice between them but it's very evident that something is going on. Let's see, she collaborates with him on his album and he then collaborates on hers, they make appearances in each other's videos and live shows and most important - neither one is denying the reports they are involved - what would you think?. So why the DL motion then? well the obvious reason would be privacy they would never get any so leaving the public and the papparazzi guessing is one way of not playing the game and being in control of the situation.

Dwele adds UK dates to his upcoming tour

Singing sensation Dwele (aka Andwele )is poised to take over the R&B arena as he prepares to hit the road on his first National and International tour. The Detroit native has just recently added 2 UK dates (July 6th and 7th) to his debut tour that's been making the US circuit at the moment. Tickets are £12 in advance available from the Jazz Cafe box office (020 7 916 6060) or £15 on the door. A 24 hour credit card hotline is available on 020 7344 0044.

This young has bubbling in the underground soul scene for the last 7 years and is just now finally getting his due. The lead off single 'Find a way' from his sophomore set 'Subject' has been setting the phone lines afire on radio station request liness across the nation and the album was released last month at a record store near you. It's been receiving rave reviews across the spectrum with the exception of Rolling Stone magazine - (what do they know).

This album is on point to serve as this year's 'Album o the year' as far as I'm concerned. All that you want is present the set - catchy dance numbers, mid-tempo grooves and ballads. If you're a soul fan (as I am) then this one is a must have, so go get it.
